A new video from the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) shows a Planned Parenthood vice president discussing how a "checkbox" allows abortionists to declare their compliance with the law banning partial-birth abortion and then do the procedure as they wish.

Dr. Suzie Prabhakaran, the Vice President of Medical Affairs for Planned Parenthood of Southwest and Central Florida, explained to CMP investigators posing as fetal tissue buyers the standard practice of abortionists who don't use digoxin. Digoxin is a chemical injected into the human in the womb to kill him or her. It stops the baby's heart from beating. The baby is then removed from the mother's womb. But, if digoxin is used in an abortion, it prevents the baby from being harvested.
